Perhaps unsurprisingly this is not the most well-informed and unbiased article on MAPs, but it’s still interesting to read about what they thought of us as they read through the posts in these darknet forums.
While the article was written by someone at Cracked, the info itself comes from “Pam”, an undergrad student who’s supposedly not a pedophile herself and was just infiltrating 7axxn to get info for her research project (never even heard of this forum before, probably long dead and gone). She has 5 main takeaways from her “research”:
-
In The Dark Web, You’ll Find A Whole Pedophile “Community” (They talk about how there are quite a few forums in the darknet with thousands of users.)
-
There Are Two Opposing “Camps” Of Child Molester (Pro-abuse (hurtcore) and pro-contact but anti-abuse. Of course, the writer believes that all sexual contact with children is abuse so they don’t care about this distinction.)
-
For Some People, It’s A Family Business (Yes, lots of pedophiles have sex with their kids. What a shocker.)
-
Child Molesters Have A Handbook (They found out about The Pedophile’s Handbook.)
-
They Are Very Good At Staying Anonymous (Yes, most of us don’t dox ourselves and avoid giving out personal information. Surprising, I know.)
